  1. We had necessary rain in Melbourne this morning, but I couldn't find a nice sheltering space like the Rockdale Railway Station has. My hat looked drippy.

    1. They've done a good job in providing shelters at these heritage railway stations.

  3. I love the photo. I also love that mass transit has such an early history in Australia.

  4. Opened in 1884. To me, that's amazing, although the New York City (where I grew up)'s mass transit trains actually started operation in the late 1870's. Nice colors against the blue sky.
